Archive Options

This page contains options that apply to archive handling in general, irrespective of the archive format.

• Auto-extract archive contents on double-click: Turn this on to have Opus automatically extract the full contents of the archive to a temporary folder when you double-click on a file within the archive. This is most useful for archives containing installers - if you double-click on the enclosed Setup.exe program you would normally want all the other files of the archive extracted as well in order for the installer to run successfully. You can optionally use the drop-down to have Auto-extract only take effect when the specified qualifier key is held down.
  • Extensions: This specifies the file extensions that Auto-extract works on. This is specified as a list of file extensions separated by semi-colons. Normally you wouldn't need to set this to anything other than .exe for executable files.
  • Prompt before extracting: Before the contents of the archive are automatically extracted, Opus will prompt you for confirmation.
